A discussion on chat the other night has had me thinking about crossovers, team ups, etc, and I just started thinking - what if?
What if Poison Ivy crossed paths with Swamp Thing? Could she control him? Would he be immune to her power, since he is an earth elemental? Shouldn't he have done something to deal with Ivy by now, if he is an earth elemental?
Any thoughts?

First off, i want to ask what Swamp Thing is made of?
Of course things from the swamp but more specifically.

[shadow=red,left,300]Odd.
You're scaring me more than usual.
Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing...maybe they have a mutual understanding?
Or they have kids? Maybe that's why he lets her do what she does?[/shadow]

First off, i want to ask what Swamp Thing is made of? Of course things from the swamp but more specifically. This is taken from the "Unofficial Who's Who of the DC Universe" Years ago, bio-scientist Alec Holland was brutally murdered in an explosion and ended up in the swamp of Louisiana. Accumulating leaves, moss, and rotten decay, a body was formed around Holland's mind, and arose as the Swamp Thing. For years, this Swamp Thing believed itself to be Alec Holland mutated into a monster, and vainly sought a cure to restore himself to human (on a couple of occasions, he even succeeded, or so it seemed, but he inevitably transformed to his Swamp Thing self again). During this time, he sometimes allied himself with heroes such as Batman and the Challengers of the Unknown (I). It wasn't until much later that the creature learned the truth: He wasn't Alec Holland. He was a Plant Elemental, an agent of the Green, a vegetable, with the memories of Alec Holland. After realizing and accepting the truth, the Swamp Thing found a purpose in life as protector of the Earth. He developed his powers and skills, learning how to regenerate himself, control plant life, and travel through the realms and even how to travel back in time. He also started a family with his lifemate Abigail and daughter Tefé (a Plant Elemental in human form and the latest being to be called the Swamp Thing). More recently, however, Swamp Thing absorbed the power of all the Elemental Parliaments - Plants, Stones, Water, Air, and Fire - becoming an omnipotent "World Elemental", intent on recreating the Earth without any animal life. He was ultimately convinced to change his mind about humanity's potential of good, however, and now serves as an Earth protector once again. www.dcuguide.com/MiniWho/Su.htm |

^Thanks. Now I know much more.
Well. Since Swamp Thing is mostly made of dead plant tissue, I belive that Swamp Thing could never be controlled by Ivy.
Though Swamp Thing maybe could control Ivy as she is a Human life form.

[glow=purple,2,300]Personally, I think Swamp Thing is way too powerful to be controled by Ivy; somewhere I read that he's conected to all plants and he can talk through them.
Plus SW is really from the horror genrer of comics, where PI is more a part of the superhero genre.[/glow]

Of course, that was before Vertigo. I started wondering this when I read the first part of the War Games cross over - where Ivy and Riddler are in Gotham Park. Have Ivy's powers increased recently? I didn't know she could take over the park and maintain control over it. |

[glow=purple,2,300]Well, during NML Batman told her that she could have the park as her own personal sancuary; and as far as her powers...I'm pretty sure she turned green during NML, but the greatest power increase happened during Hush IMO--with being able to control women an' all.

[shadow=green,left,300]yeah, that Ivy backstory I read recently where Riddler first comes into the park seeking sanctuary pretty much shed light on the fact that Ivy is WAY more powerful than we think! So, who knows, she may be able to control Swamp Thing.
After all...mother earth is a goddess...not a god.[/shadow]
